Last month, more than 80 teens and parents gathered in the future Levine LINK Lounge to celebrate the launch of something truly exciting for Har Zion: The LINK, our new Jewish teen experience for students in grades 8–12.

The LINK is one of the clearest examples of what Tekiah is all about. It shows what can happen when great staff are empowered to dream big, and when generous congregants help bring those dreams to life. Through the generosity of Julie and Bob Levine and Family, a program that Norman Einhorn has described as a true dream come true is becoming a real, vibrant part of Har Zion’s future.

The LINK will give teens a place to connect, lead, learn, grow, and build meaningful Jewish friendships at a time when that kind of connection matters more than ever. It is also a powerful reminder that Tekiah is not just about what we hope to build someday. It is about strengthening Har Zion right now, for our children, our teens, our families, and the generations still to come.

We look forward to sharing more stories like this as Tekiah continues to help shape the future of Jewish life at Har Zion.
